Mary Buffett
professional biography


Mary Buffett is a best-selling author, international speaker, consultant and environmental activist based in Santa Monica.

Mary studied the investment methods of Warren Buffett, the world’s most successful investor, up close for twelve years, as his daughter-in-law. She learned the essence of his philosophy, how to capture, communicate and teach it, and has documented her understanding in a series of best-selling books.

Ms. Buffett’s book Buffettology was a USA Today, Business Week and New York Times bestseller. She has since published The New Buffettology as well as The Buffettology Workbook, The Tao of Warren Buffett—which made the best seller list in Business Week and The Wall Street Journal—and Warren Buffett and The Interpretation of Financial Statements, another New York Times and Amazon bestseller (all books published by Simon & Schuster, Inc.). Her most recent book, Warren Buffett’s Management Secrets, was also a critical success. Her work has been translated into 17 languages including Hebrew, Arabic, Chinese and Russian, and is distributed by more than a dozen publishers.
